Unless you fall neatly into the mainstream 'white' beauty standard, chances are if you’ve ever been in a bridal party or splurged on some special occasion makeup, you've sat down to find the stylist doesn’t have any idea how to actually match your complexion and has very limited tones in their kit that even come close. Yeah...that ashy, washed-out look is not really the gorgeous, glowing vibe you were after, hey?
It’s a problem that occurs far too often, but one that self-proclaimed accidental entrepreneur, Subhaga Amarasekara, is out to solve with her at-home beauty marketplace, FLAYR.
